THE RUMP MINORITY.

We cannot impress too deeply upon
the Democrats of Ouachjta that the &C.
ton of the Executive Committee last
In calling 9, mass meeting for
to-day to elect delegates from this par
ish to the State Convention was gross
and inexcusable usurpation of authority
by a minority OF the Committee, and
evlnced a determination. on the part OF
the rump to treat with insulting disre-
gard the respectful petition Of 473
white Democratic voters.
We have shown elsewhere that five |
out of nine wards in the parish were
unrepresented on that committee, and
that there are only ten of the original
members on the committee, including
the chairman, who never has vote
unless there Is tie.
Out of these ten original members,
one, Mr.. Breard, was absent from the
meeting, leaving only eight, be-
sides the chairman, present. These
eight members out of Committee of
eighteen, usurped the authority to
dictate to the Democrats of Ouachita
how they should select the delegates to
represent the Democracy of this parish,
and that, too, contrary to the expressed
will of 473 white Democrats.
Examine the proceedings of the meet
ing, published elsewhere, and satisfy
yourself that our statement is correct.
; The only members having shadow
of title to a seat In the committee who
voted for the mass-meeting, were
Messrs. Smith, Theobalds, Phillips,
Russell, Parker, Lacy, Watkins and
McCrauie. A yea and nay vote was
taken on the question aud is published
with the proceedings. Look at it ano
